"Freedom" in the fiat world is epitomized by the act of asking permission to move your own money. What a ridiculous concept. The fact that a significant chunk of the world's population lives like this is a travesty.

To be fair, a lot of these policies are enacted at branches that have a lot of elderly or vulnerable customers. That is why the notice is specific to the branch and not talking about a corporate policy.
Though out of context of branches that have had fraud claims, the messaging is tone-deaf.
I'm not defending this at all... just pointing out there is often another angle to these stories.

This is only going to get worse in terms of fiat banking.
Hold bitcoin in your own wallet and don't be afraid to transact p2p.
